Having sex with a condom is like smelling flowers in a spacesuit.

You hear that?

Sure. The counterargument can be answered – do you know how to properly size a condom? Poorly sized protection can add a not-so-comfortable experience to an intimate act. But it’s all from being the wrong brand, material, and most importantly, size.

An active, varied sex life is an important element of a happy man. Modern knights must remember – the use of contraceptives causes the partner’s appreciation, convinces her that you are a caring, reasonable, reliable man.

Condom size standards in different countries

When you buy, you may notice inscriptions on the pack that reveal the size. The differences depend on the system of calculation adopted in the country (metric or inch), the standards are translated according to the country of sale.

There are slight differences in material thickness in Asian (thicker) or European brands.
Condom sizes depend on the average size of men’s penises in the countries where they are sold.
Europeans, including representatives of the Russian Federation, have sizes from medium and above. Therefore condoms for the needs of the European market are often not designed for owners of bogatyr penises.
For the latter, North American brands are preferable.

To choose, the following are important: the length of the erect penis, its girth. All sizes of existing mass-produced condoms, what to focus on and how to choose, see the table:

marking	length (mm)	width (mm)	phallus girth (mm)
S (small)	150-170	49-52	88-104
M (medium)	170-190	52-56	104-112
L (large)	190-220	54-58	108-116
XL (extra large)	190-230	58-65	116-130
XXL (extra-extra large)	190-230	65-69	130-138

M and L are closest to the Russian GOST (which, however, separates more in diameter, counting the main length of 18 cm), will satisfy most men.

How to measure a penis correctly

To determine the correct size of the condom according to the table, you need to know exactly the dimensions of your penis. It is measured according to the following rules:

1. Measurements are carried out at different times of the day – in the morning and at night (at this time, the length of the erect penis is different).
2. The length of the phallus – from the root of the shaft to the end of the head.
3. During the measurement, the man must be standing, while lying or sitting do not get the correct data.
4. To get data on the circumference of the penis, you need to measure at three points:
   1. At the base of the shaft;
   2. At the middle part of the penis body;
   3. At the end of the glans.
   4. The arithmetic average of the sums will be the diameter value.

How to Choose a Condom Accurately

It is rare that the first purchase immediately satisfies the buyer completely. There are many reasons for this – from incorrectly calculated sizes of the penis, to the quality of the material or the shelf life of the product (a condom has one, too). There are many brands on the market, it is easier to make a mistake with the choice.

General tips:

• Do not buy rubbers marked XL or XXL for men with average sizes. Such capacious condoms are more likely to fly off during intercourse.
• Most will fit M or L.
• Rubber tears less often.
• Latex has good durability, is affordable, protects against venereal diseases, but with it reduced sensation in sexual intercourse, it loses strength when in contact with oil-based lubricants.
• Polyurethane is more vivid sensations in sex (thinner, more elastic than latex, conducts heat well, combines with oil-based lubricants), stands noticeably higher, slips off more often.
• Natural lambskin condom is ideal for realistic sensations, but cannot protect against STDs, expensive.

To use the contraceptive correctly, wear it as indicated on the instructions for use.

For those who want a more natural sensation of protected sex, you should choose products with the indication light on the package, it indicates a thinner material. If durability is more important to you, rubber bands with the word Forced or Safe will do. Their sensations are more dulled, but the protection is higher.

Additional characteristics

When selecting protection, in addition to the material, lubricant, flavorings, and other additions to the main function are important.

• Silicone, which have a water-resistant effect;
• Spermicidal, slowing down spermatozoa in the event of a condom rupture;
• Anesthetic, which reduces the sensitivity of the penile surface to prolong sexual intercourse;
• Flavored, flavored, to brighten the sensation of sexual play;
